Hi

I am trying to open multiple instances of Excel using the runas command from
the DOS prompt. I am following the DOS command line method because the
start->menu->..Excel and selecting 'Run As' method is not working.

I get the following error when using the runas command:

runas /user:campc.mydomain.com\cam2 "
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft
Office\Excel.exe"

Enter the password for campc.mydomain.com\cam2:
Attempting to start C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Excel.exe as user "campc.mydomain.com\cam2" ...

RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Excel.exe
5: Access is denied.


The user cam2 is set up with admin privileges. How can I solve this access
error?

try running as a command with the slash c option

cmd/c runas /user:campc.mydomain.com\cam2 "
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft
Office\Excel.exe"

Perhaps clicking the Excel Icon in the Quick Launch bar would be easier
way to start multiple instances?
